Larax & Zaco puts a destructive twist on the classic platform formula. Rather than simply collecting bonuses, players must demolish buildings and platforms by strategically placing bombs across the playfield. Four different bomb types are available, ranging from small and harmless to devastatingly large, and watching massive structures detonate into thousands of tiny pieces is very much the point. The game supports simultaneous two-player action via a split-screen display, with text available in both Italian and English.
